東海道五十三次 見附 天竜川図|Mitsuke; Tenryugawa Ferry, Station No. 29 is a 1828 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a river scene with two people on a wooden ferry. One stands holding a pole, wearing a straw hat and blue clothes. The other sits in the boat, also in a hat. In the background, other boats carry people and goods, and a distant shore has buildings and trees. The light blue sky and soft colors make the scene feel calm. The ferry’s flat bottom and the way people move suggest daily life on the water. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige for more prints like this.
